Why is Hollywood suddenly obsessed with blowing up all of Washington? First there was “Olympus Has Fallen,” the new action movie staring Gerard Butler that wreaks havoc on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. And now, “White House Down,” a forthcoming film starring Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum, has just put out its trailer.

In it, both the U.S. Capitol and the White House are blown up and other scenes include Air Force One being shot down and the president’s limousine ending up flipped upside down into a pool.

The damage inflicted on Washington isn’t the only way that “White House Down” resembles “Olympus.” In “Olympus,” Butler plays a Secret Service agent protecting the president (Aaron Eckhart), and in “White House Down,” Tatum plays a police officer protecting the president (Foxx). In both movies, a paramilitary group is to blame for the chaos. In “Olympus,” the group hailed from North Korea, whereas the antagonists in “White House Down” look to be homegrown.

The film is directed by Roland Emmerich (“Independence Day,” “2012,” “The Day After Tomorrow”) and will hit movie theaters this summer. Filming has been taking place in Montreal (“Olympus” was shot in Louisiana).
